The Alaska Marine Highway for The New York Times

This summer I proposed a story for the Travel Section of the New York Times along the Marine Highway System that runs from Bellingham up through the Inside Passage of Alaska. Needless to say, this was one of the best assignments I have ever had. It's always fun to pitch a story and have it accepted, but it's even more fulfilling when it's a story like this one. The three days I spent on the ferry were spent roaming the boat, always meeting new people, and hearing remarkable stories, while floating through one of the most spectacular and remote areas of the world I have ever seen.

The Mendenhall Glacier for The New York Times

Last week I had the opportunity spend some time in the Inside Passage of Alaska as well as Juneau, where I shot a story that explored the Mendenhall Glacier and the sudden outbursts of water that the glacier has been prone to in the recent years. It was a difficult story to illustrate since most of the activity is going on under the glacier, and the floodplain that is impacted is spread out across the Mendenhall Valley with little visual cues as to the possible threat. Since the glacier itself is 14 miles away from Juneau, most of my time was spent either flying via helicopter with researchers up to the top of the glacier, or hiking over the base. It was a great trip and a fun assignment. Here are some images from the shoot. View Article Here>>>

Seattle's Light Rail for The Wall Street Journal

A couple of months ago I shot a story for The Wall Street Journal dealing with how light rail systems are actually making housing prices increase in the areas surrounding them and driving lower income residents farther and farther away from the light rail that they depend on. Here are a couple of images from the shoot.

Ryan Hadlock for The Wall Street Journal

Several weeks ago I photographed Ryan Hadlock of Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville, Washington. Ryan's studio is off a forested road outside of town in a refurbished barn, where he recently produced The Lumineers album. Ryan was a blast to work with and it was fun to be able to hang out in the studio for a couple of hours working the space for portraits and candid moments. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

Section 8 Housing for The Wall Street Journal

I had a really great time shooting for The Wall Street Journal several weeks ago in Tacoma, Washington. I spent the morning with Elizabeth Hadnot who is working her way through BJ's Beauty and Barber College. It's always refreshing to meet someone who is so relaxed about being photographed. Hadnot recently was accepted for Section 8 housing and just moved into her new house in Tacoma. Here is a selection of imagery from the shoot.
